Rico said temperatures were forecast to be warmer than freezing for most of the morning, but instead stayed at or slightly below freezing. That caused the snow to stay snow, rather than melt before coming to earth.

Roads have generally stayed wet rather than snow-covered, but a tractor-trailer crash closed the ramp from WB I-275 to NB I-75 around 1 p.m.

By mid to late afternoon, the snow will turn to rain and taper off, Rico said.

Highs on Wednesday afternoon will reach the lower 40s, so the snow won't stick around long as rain moves in. Temperatures on Thursday will likely reach 50 degrees, although they'll fall back below freezing on Friday.

Snow flurries are possible for Friday and Saturday, Rico said and weekend lows will dip into the teens.
